it's an international stock market and it's very dominated by the resources sector. we quite like energy, but we're not so keen on the materials. we don't think the uk is going to do as well as the s&p or the euro stocks. we're expecting markets to be more strong because local expectations are going to be overly depressed and they matter. >> kevin, briefly, what about the yen? this seems to be one of the biggest stories for the bank of japan. do you bet on the bank of japan here? >> we expect them to loosen and of coursively push the yen down. the only qualification one has there is it's a little bit like the government bond call going into 2013. absolutely everybody seems to be saying it. >> okay. we'll leave it there. kevin gardener, head of investment strategist at barclay's. your top call for 2013? >> we think growth will be weak around the world. the u.s. is the best game in town. >> i want to hear what john walsh thinks. what's your top pick of the year, sir? >> bullish across all the understand i ises. why not? >> john walsh is bullish. why not? we still appre

as opposition forces say that they could accept an international peace keeping force if president assad steps aside. meanwhile, a u.s.-based monitor confirms the country's two-day internet blackout is now over. conner powell is live for us in the region with the very latest. conner? >> heather, the internet is now on in damascus, but appears much of the rest of syria is still without internet and other mobile phone connection. the assad government blamed that disconnection on terrorists, but outside monitoring groups say no, in fact it's the assad regime that cut the connection. the question is why would they do that? we've seen more and more fighting getting closer and closer to damascus. particularly into the areas where the government is the strongest, like around the airport, which has been open and planes have been coming and going since the start of this war nearly two years ago. in the last two days, fighting has gotten particularly heavy and flights have been canceled out of the international airport. the rebels at one point claimed to have held the road going to the airport. th
